I Hate Young People is an archive of on-the-street videos of young people complaining about old people and old people complaining about young people. The old people don't like young people's music, manners, and clothes and the young people don't like the old people's odor and old-fashioned ways. Link (fixed link)
As Drawn! says: "Before you watch this insane music video by Jérémie Perin, note that is totally not safe for work. Its video-game inspired animation contains pixellated 8-bit depictions of both sex and pooping. The YouTube description reads "Think Spielberg's Duel + Russ Meyer's Faster Pussycat ... More.
This looks like a truly useless, and depressingly ugly device for cracking eggs (which this TV commercial would like you to believe is a big problem). ... More.
The Arkansas cop who used a Taser on a 10-year-old girl was punished with a 7-day paid vacation -- not for stungunning a little girl, but for not having a camera on his Taser.... More.
As a little kid, I used to think electrical substations would make really awesome jungle gyms. This video helpfully demonstrates why 5-year-old Maggie was an idiot. This is the Eldorado Substation near Boulder City, Nevada. What you're seeing: A substation like this one is connected to long-dista... More.
Michael Wolf took 100 photos of people living in Hong Kong's oldest public housing estate. Each flat is 100 square feet. Almost every room has the same kind of metal bunk bed. They almost all have a TV, electric fan, and rice cooker. I looked at all 100 photos. Here's the creepiest room. Here'... More.

We get to hate everybody, including other middle-aged people. It is the best age for hating.
get off my lawn!!
I work in a college in the UK -- basically a building full of young people and old people mixing together and learning from each other and I see respect, intelligence and drive from both ages every day.
It actually highlights something I've been thinking about: we need to re-examine the labels of "liberal" and "conservative". I would suggest that "conservative" simply means you don't tollerate anyone who doesn't live like you do. You end up with a lot of old people hating young people who live differently than they do, and a lot of young people who hate old people for exactly the same reason. They're both close minded conservatives, peering out from their individually defined world views and unaccepting of any others. Being a young goth lesbian doesn't make you a liberal; being accepting of other people's ways of life does. It means you accept the stay at home soccer mom as much as you accept your other lesbian goth friends.
e.g., I know of someone who once referred to monogamy as "Judeo-Christian bullshit". He would call himself a liberal but that's actually a very close minded and thus conservative way of thinking. A true social liberal is as accepting of "boring old-man" rural/suburban lifestyles as he is of any other, even if he chooses not to live that way.
@Peter S. Conrad:
I don't have an answer, but this may be relevant to your interests:

Lisa: It's awful being a kid. No one listens to you.
Abe: It's rotten being old. No one listens to you.
Homer: {I'm a white male, age 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me -- no
matter how dumb my suggestions are.}

(Tried to get video, failed.)
Maybe we should be a little more specific here:
It's old NEW YORKERS complaining about young NEW YORKERS and vice versa.
You don't take a video camera to get people in New York City to start complaining about any kind of "other people".
(Let me tell you about those New Yorkers...)
You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J. D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run of the house with a big washtub and… hey! Where are you going?
... Anyway, about my washtub. I’d just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as... a walking bird. We'd always have walking bird on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called "baseball"...
"History doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes."
Can't remember who said it. Please help me out. But this shit was hilarious. On hip-hop: "I can't understand what they're saying!" I've heard it a million times. Like they can understand everything Mick Jagger was saying, even after 30 years.
Here's a soundfile.

I am disappointed to see that there is not yet a video compiled of old people talking about their angers regarding kids being in their yard/on their lawn.
